Not interested, prefer reality. reality is simple, if a farmer can grow tons of food using a normal fertilizers, they would have done it many times over.

You realize what you’re calling reality is the myth, right? Farming in the “conventional” way is unsustainable. Full stop.

It’s unsustainable, but now our population is unsustainable without industrial farming. It’s called a progress trap

It’s a myth that we can’t feed everyone without using “conventional” farming practices.

The only trap we’re in is a lack of creativity and will to do the things we need to do, the way they need to be done.
